Birmingham Airport guide
BHX drop-off
There are two main choices for dropping passengers at Birmingham Airport: the free Drop Off car park and Premium Set Down close to the terminal.
Information checked: 27 August 2026
Free BHX Drop Off
The official Drop Off car park is free for the first 10 minutes. The terminal is around a 5 to 10 minute walk via a covered walkway, and a free bus service is also available.
Useful: there is a no-return-within-one-hour rule for the Drop Off car park.
Premium Set Down
Premium Set Down is immediately outside the terminal and is intended for convenience rather than waiting. The current turn-up tariff starts at £8 for up to 15 minutes.
Do not stop on red routes
Stopping restrictions operate around the airport roads and are enforced. Use a designated car park or set-down area instead.
